Using positive psychology for optimal performance and reaching the peak of performance in sports has always been considered. However, there is no accurate understanding of some mental experiences such as flow. This study aimed to compare the flow status of amateur and elite wrestlers. The statistical population of this study consisted of 56 wrestlers in the sixth freestyle and Greco roman wrestling world cup championships (2020) and 56 amateur wrestlers from different random cities of Iran. To measure the experience of athletes, the Flow State Scale was used. The results showed that the overall flow score of elite wrestlers was significantly higher than amateur wrestlers. Also, independent t-test indicated among the nine dimensions of flow, challenge-skills balance, action-awareness merging, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, concentration on the task at hand, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness in professional was significantly higher than amateur wrestlers. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between professional and amateur wrestlers regarding the dimensions of transformation of time and autotelic experience. Further research focuses on the flow status of athletes as a component of psychological factors that are expected to be related to skill level is needed. Therefore, it can help sports coaches and psychologists bring athletes to the peak of performance and optimal performance.

AbstractDisciplinary rules and measures in the educational environment are an important factor in the formation of students' emotions and behavior that can affect their well-being in this way. Therefore, identifying the role of the discipline process on the psychological well-being of children in preschool centers was determined as the aim of the present study, which was achieved through a qualitative survey method. The research sample consisted of 16 educators working in preschool centers who were purposefully selected. The data collection tool was a Semi-Structured Interview. The qualitative analysis method was used with a three-step coding technique (open, axial, and selective) to achieve the findings. The results indicate that some disciplinary measures have a positive role and others negatively affect children's psychological well-being. The process of discipline will positively affect the psychological well-being of children through pleasant disciplinary strategies and regulations that develop interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, it can also have a negative effect on psychological well-being through debilitating strategies of positive self-concept and disciplinary strategies and regulations that threaten autonomy and independence. Accordingly, the establishment of participatory discipline based on the development of relationships and positive feelings to promote children's psychological well-being in preschool centers is recommended to educators.

This study aimed to identify the role of mindfulness, maladaptive perfectionism, and positive affect in goal self-concordance. The method of this research was descriptive and correlational. The sample included 100 secondary school students in Isfahan in the academic year 2020-2021, who were selected by convenience sampling. Mindfulness Questionnaires, Maladaptive Perfectionism, Positive Affect, and Self-Efficacy were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using stepwise regression analysis. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. In stepwise regression, in the first step, the variable of mindfulness was entered and in the second step, the variable of maladaptive perfectionism was added, and finally, this regression model was able to predict 37% of the variance of goal self-concordance. However, the positive affect variable did not enter the regression equation due to the lack of predictive power. These findings provide new evidence on the importance of choosing self-concordance goals in life and identifying the factors influencing this choice.
